A certain lightning bolt moves 10.0 C of charge. How many charges have been moved if the fundamental unit of charge is 1.6 x 10-
Andrej [43]

To solve this problem, use the ratio given by the total number of electrons or protons that exist as a function of the total charge, and inversely proportional to the value of the fundamental charge. The number of fundamental unit  |q_e| that constitutes a charge of 40.0C can be calculated as

N = \frac{|Q|}{|q_e|}

Here,

q_e = Value of charge and it is the fundamental charge

Q = Total Charge

N = Total number of electron or protons

The number of fundamental units is calculated as follows

N = \frac{10.0C}{1.6*10^{-19}C}

N = 6.25*10^{19}

Therefore the number of fundamental charge units moved by lightning bolt is 6.25*10^{19}

ryan hypothesizes that darker colors heat up faster. he places a thermometer inside a red wool sock, a green cotton glove, and a
telo118 [61]
Light are transfer through waves in the atmosphere and yes it  true that the darker the color is the more heat it could absorb thus it is also explain that the lighter the color is the less heat or light its absorb its because the light is bounces back through other form of light and it lessens the amount of heat in a substance. In Ryan's procedure the possible wrong that he done is the present of a green cotton glove. Green color are one of the color that bounces light and could not support the hypothesis of Ryan and the possible temperature he could get is not the accurate one.

a new planet is discovered that has twice the earth’s mass and twice the earth’s radius. on the surface of this new planet, a pe
Irina18 [472]

Answer: 250n

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is: F = (gMm)/r^2

There are two factors at play here:

1) The mass of the planet 'M'

2) The radius 'r'

We can ignore the small M and the g, they are constants that do not alter the outcome of this question.

You can see that both M and r are double that of earth. So lets say earth has M=1 and r=1. Then, new planet would have M=2 and r=2. Let's sub these two sets into the equation:

Earth. F =  M/r^2 = 1/1

New planet. F = M/r^2 = 2/4 = 1/2

So you can see that the force on the new planet is half of that felt on Earth.

The question tells us that the force on earth is 500n for this person, so then on the new planet it would be half! So, 250n!

What is the Mirror equation? What does it look like?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1/f = 1/D' + 1/D

The magnification equation relates the ratio of the image distance and object distance to the ratio of the image height (h^i) and object height (h^o). The magnification equation is stated as follows:

M= H^i/H^o = D^i/D^o
